A very good copycat recipe. You can sub vegetable stock for the chicken, and imitation bacon bits for the real ones for a vegetarian dish. Prep time includes baking the spuds.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 medium baked potatoes
3 teaspoons butter
1 cup diced white onion
2 teaspoons flour
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups instant mashed potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1 cup half-and-half

Garnish

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon
2 green onions, chopped

Directions

1
Melt butter in a large saucepan and sauté onion until light brown.
2
Add the flour to the onions and stir to make a roux.
3
Add stock, water, cornstarch, mashed potatoes and spices to the pot and bring to a boil.
4
Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
5
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out.
6
Discard skins.
7
Chop potato flesh into 1/2 inch chunks.
8
Add chopped potato and half and half to the saucepan, bring soup back to a boil, reduce and simmer for 15 minutes.
9
Ladle into bowls, and serve with 1 tbsp cheese, 1/2 tbsp bacon bits and 1 tsp onion sprinkled on top.

very good potato soup. I have had the recipe for years. You do not need to add the cream as if you forget to add you will not notice you missed putting in recipe, though it may make it creamier to the tongue I think it may be a comfort thing.

Kids loved it! This makes a nice, thick kid friendly soup. I think it's better than Tony Roma's (probably because it's fresher).I used less salt than listed and left the skins on the potatoes, which I had microwaved instead of baking in the oven.

I thought this was really good. It was definitely quick and easy. I nuked the potatoes in the microwave because I was short on time and I didn't have chicken stock so I used chicken broth from a can. It made a great fast dinner that my kids gobbled down. Thanks

Oh my goodness, Diana, this was sooooo good. I think this is better than Tomy Roma's. My husband and I really loved this rich, creamy, full of potatoes comforting soup. I used probably 1/2 c. chopped bacon as garnish. Thanks for posting this.
